Looks like there's one in my future. The Funmover has a good deal of overhang combined with heavy tongue weight of a stacker. With it pulling a stacker I expect it not to follow like towing a single car 28" would with a dualie.

what can you tell me about having one

Fred-

I can tell you not from personal experience but know many that have them and LOVE them.

Jok is a racer, writes for his own website and columns and a previous track owner. So he understands what these are about and the reasons he developed them.

Everyone I know loves them, and there is only issues when backing up you need to take care of.

They talk about them often on DRR if you want to take a look over there. I do believe Jok even pays contingency on them for any race, not just certain ones.

My mechanic has one and liked it so much he became a dealer for them. He says he would recommend for anyone even thinking about it.

I have a new one that will be put to use this season..I talked with several current racers using them before buying one and mostly all positive feedback..mine is going behind a 3500 Cummins w/12ft overhead camper.

The only thing that I could come up with negative was having to get out and manually locking the units steering for backing up..but really not to big of a deal.

I think getting the latest model with 15" wheels and tires would be a huge plus to consider.

Spoke w/someone in UMTR who said he loved it, but have to carry 2 spares because the tires ride in the middle of the land and tend to pick up junk in the tires

That's pretty cold, Fred. And no, I don't live in a trailer. I'm fortunate enough to own a nice house. I do have a very nice 5th wheel camper that the wife and I are thinking of full-timing in when we retire.

Yup I live in a house too, but I have friends who live in moble homes and they are great people too.

Fred,

I had one with my class A and loved it. We even used it with the stacker and the class A. It works great.

My thoughts, too. No wonder Moparts is often bashed as being a clique...now a clique within a clique.

Hey Fred, just a different point of view... I have a Tuff Tow... Its very simular to the Trailer Toad.. But mine is attached inside the frame rails of the trailer. Still have to pin it to back up but this unit does not make your rig any longer... But does the same for the tongue weight... I have used mine for 5 years now and love it... See Shogun Industries website... As I said before just another way of doing the same thing... If you are interested pm me an e-mail and will send you photos.. Can't hurt to see all the options...

Fred, you mean that truck cant carry the load... my
OPINION those are a bandaid to carry the load... have
you looked at reinforcing the frame.... I am sure
you looked at the MAX lift bar hitches... I have a
buddy that had a similar set up and it toadded poorly,
that unit was ALWAYS trying to wander and wore out
the tires....... I've never owner one so this is just
a observation
